That sounds fine, but the crucial question is whether one has to jump
through this hoop once for each device per Debconf, or per day?
The former appears to be no huge problem (I assume some will have
trouble, but could be helped somehow, possibly by setting up a tethered
hotspot at front desk where people can retrieve their code), the latter
would be really annoying.
Maybe it could be negotiated that people get a pre-assigned code during
front-desk registration, valid for the time of the conference?
